Shorts have been a good luck charm for Vidor coach Jeff Mathews

Vidor head football coach Jeff Mathews looked a little cold on Friday wearing shorts in Vidor’s game against Port Neches-Groves.
He wasn’t wearing them to show how tough he is but instead as a good luck charm. Vidor had not lost all season with Mathews wearing shorts. Their only loss, prior to Friday’s 22-15 defeat at the hands of PN-G, was to Nederland and Mathews was wearing pants in that game.
So does the loss mean that Mathews’ good luck charm has worn off? He thinks so.
The players disagree though.
“They say it was because I had a sweatshirt on (that Vidor lost),” Mathews said.
